Leopardwood Lumber Board – 3/4″ x 4″

A small jewelry box with a flip-top lid is a fun way to show off this board. Leopardwood gets its name from the spotted, flecked grain that runs across the face. Those little eyes and dashes look almost like animal spots, and they pop even more once you add a clear finish.

This board measures 3/4 inch thick and 4 inches wide. You get one piece. The size works well for box lids, small trays, knife scales, pen bodies, and thin accent strips glued onto a larger panel. The wood is hard and heavy, so your blades and bits should be sharp before you start.

It sands to a smooth, glassy feel and takes oil or lacquer with no trouble. The grain shows best with a thin coat that lets the flecks shine through.

• Size 3/4 inch thick by 4 inches wide
• Count one board
• Wood real Leopardwood, a dense exotic hardwood
• Good for box lids, knife scales, and accent trim

Next to plain red oak, Leopardwood is harder, heavier, and far more eye-catching when the light hits its spots.
